Madonna | Businesswoman

When it comes to pop music history, only a few singers have come close to matching Madonna’s degree. Madonna became one of the most famous people on the planet during her meteoric rise to stardom in 1980. She not only dominated the music charts, but she also made a name for herself as an actress. Madonna was a chameleon who reinvented herself regularly. She set her sights on becoming a tycoon as well as a musician in the 1990s.

So she didn’t just ask Time Warner to issue her a check-in in 1992; she wanted to launch her own media firm under their cover. They had two options: say yes or lose her. Soon, Maverick was founded and coincided with the debut of Madonna’s bestselling book and the accompanying Erotica album. In addition, Madonna has various revenue streams outside of music, including the MDNA Skin brand, a stake in Jay-TIDAL, a clothing line for H&M, and a sunglasses brand with Dolce & Gabbana.
